Religious traditions

Making sense of religion and faith traditions for funerals is no
easy task. Customs not only vary between religions, but also
between parts of the world, sectors of the same faith, and even
among family members.

If you are attending a funeral for someone of another faith, you
may feel awkward and uncomfortable if you are not familiar with the
traditions and customs. Rather than take a guess, look through the
pages ahead or ask the funeral provider. You could also contact
family members and/or faith leaders in your community to answer
your questions.
